The Fall of Gold Prices.

The Bible tells us that in the end days gold and silver prices shall drop to the point that they are worthless materials. What would cause such a drastic change in these values where by all financial institutions use them as an indicator of what paper currency is worth?

I have noticed a great assurgence in the buying and selling of Gold and silver, but just as the diamond prices are regulated by a few, Gold and silver is also regulated to a certain extent.

Lets take diamonds for the first example.

DeBears is the largest diamond producer that I know of. They regulate the price by assuring that only a select number are released upon the world market. But look what would happen to the price of diamonds if all the stockpiles around the world would hit the market at once.

As the sands of the seas, the diamonds would be worthless.

So shall be the value of gold and silver.

^{Let us read;}

“And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.”

Loftiness;

Elevated in condition or character. Proud.

Haughtiness;

Proud and disdainful; having a high opinion of one's self, with some contempt for others; lofty and arrogant; supercilious.

“In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;”

Many of the precious stones that are coveted by man today, have in essence become idols to be worshipped. Idols can be anything that you put before the Lord. It is written that the love of money is the root of all evil and I have found that this is very true.

You can see that many rich and highly influential people, wear gold and silver constantly.

Gold fausetts, silver cufflinks, and what about diamonds, they show off their wealth and prosperity by the number and size of these stones.

What has caused the intrest of buying and selling gold today? It is fear, fear of the decline of all financial markets world wide. The fall of the stock exchange is not surpriseing but predictiable. When man decided to start calling evil, good, and good, evil, it was the time to watch for these changes. This world will not last forever, it has a begining and and end.

Common sense dictates that the more a man owns, the more he desires. He is not satisfied with his hoard of wealth, but will lie awake at night crafting many devices to lay hold of what others possess.

We see this in todays news, wallstreet, banks, credit card companies raising their interest rates to gain a foot hold into the every day life of the common man. As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and suffer for it.

There is coming a time that it will take a days wages, for those lucky enough to have a job, to pay for only the food that they eat.

So if this is coming to pass, what about home sales, automobile industries, manufacturing and other services that we’ve all come to rely upon?

They also shall fail. Who shall you turn too, the banks, the government or will you die of hunger and disease?

To bring about Gods profetic word, the manufacturing, financial and false religious orders around the world must fail. This has been the warning from Jesus, who spoke of hiding our treasures in Heaven.

“And he spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

And he said,

This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?”

The financial institutions shall continue on a downward spiral, until all that they can take from the poor is exhausted. Will there be a great find of gold and silver to make them worthless? I do not know, but one thing is for certain, it will come to pass, so saith the Lord God.

“Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?”

Who are we to trust in? Banks and all financial institutions are steeling from the common man and the goverment is setting back and allowing this to happen. Shall you turn to God ansd His Christ or will you also take the mark of the Beast and enjoy sin for a season? The Choice is yours.

 ^“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;^”

Charge them that are rich] He had before, in 1Tim 6:1; 1Tim 6:9; 1Tim 6:10, given them a very awful lesson concerning their obtaining riches; and now he gives them one equally so concerning their use of them.

  That they be not high-minded] That they do not value themselves on account of their wealth, for this adds nothing to mind or moral worth.

  Nor trust in uncertain riches] (The uncertainty of riches; things which are never at a stay, are ever changing, and seldom continue long with one proprietor; therefore, as well as on many other accounts, they are not to be trusted in: they cannot give happiness, because they are not fixed and permanent; neither can they meet the wishes of an immortal spirit; but in the living God, who is the unchangeable fountain of perfection.”Clark)

'To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine." "They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied."

There are two types of famine in this world today, the first a famine for food and the second a famine for the word of God. Many countries are seeking aid from the richer countries to help them in their need for food, but this is not the cause of this type of famine. The cause is the paganism, the worship of false gods, and even to the worship of animals. The Lord will not provide for these people and will allow them to worship the gods they have chosen. We see an example of this with God and Israel.

“Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.”

People have forsaken sound judgment and the word of God. They have rejected Jesus as the Son of God, and are now paying the terrible price for their acts. We see more warnings in the Bible concerning this matter.

“And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.”

There are many that seek out the destruction of the Christian and the children of Israel. Why haven't they called upon their gods to strike us down, instead of trying to kill us off with bullets and bombs? Why haven't their gods taken over this world, why haven't they food and shelter, why haven't they conquered this world? The reason is that, Jews and Christians are interconnected with the living God Jehovah. Their false gods cannot hear, see nor speak. They cannot hear a prayer, see division, nor suffering, nor hear the cry's of hunger.

“See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.”

God Jehovah is a God of peace and a God of war. There is no other God that can give life and take away their mortal soul. This is why the other gods cannot destroy the Christian or the Israeli's. We are made whole in Christ Jesus, we are fed when we are hungry, we are clothed when we are naked, and we are able to see when others are blind. The Lord has promised to keep us alive in famine, keep us from the hour of temptation and able to keep us from falling, when others try to confuse us.

The word of God is our strength and our foundation on which we build upon. There is no reason for any man to perish when he belongs to the Lord God. If God feeds the birds of the air, and the beast of the field, how much then should He take care of those that worship Him?

For as it is written;

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it."

The Lords patience is long suffering for His creation, but all things come to an end. God has set His plan of salvation in motion, and the end days are here, this is the day of salvation, today is the day to come to Christ, but in these days of trouble and tribulation, the Lord shall cut off His Son from many. Many shall seek out the Lord and He will not be found. The reason for this is the worlds religions have corrupted minds, and souls, so far, that the Lord will no longer seek them out. When the deception is discovered by these men, it will be too late, the Lord will not be mocked.

Be not terrified of the things that we are seeing today. Many an earthquake are taking place, many try to calm the people saying that these things are normal, many try to say that the floods, earthquakes, fires and other catastrophes are things that this earth must go threw to clean itself. These are deceivers, lairs and prognosticators, not knowing and neither telling the truth.

“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

And it shall turn to you for a testimony.”

Consider the past. A time when we were prosperous and growing?

“Delayed Punishment.”
Vanity of the sinner. 

“For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.”

Death comes to all the wicked and the righteous. As we look threw Ecclesiastes we see that this date of our demise is not known to any man.

For man, no matter weather he be rich or poor, bond or free, will not delay his death by any means.(There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit;) For only God can control death and life. (neither hath he power in the day of death:)

There is no man that can stop his death,(neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.) for he has no control of it, nor can he say to the Lord, I have been good, so let me not die.(and there is no discharge in that war;)

Can death then be delayed?

Yes but only for the righteous as stated in Deuteronomy 4:40.

“Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.”

But for the wicked there is no place in this blessing. For they do not keep the commandments of the Lord and neither do they believe in Him.

“All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.”

Mans life comes and goes, his legacy will endure but for a short time, and then he will be forgotten. I have seen this many times, in just my short life time. Mans glory is fleeting and short lived. One day the world loves him and the next the world finds someone else to adore.

“But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.”

Where is mans glory when he enters into the grave? Where is mans power, his riches, and his prominence, when the worms consume the carcase?

Does the grave say to man, “I remember you. I remember your power, your glory and your prominence upon the earth. What shall you ask me to do?

Shall I make your death easier, better, shall I make the grave not cold, not so dark, or your stay shortened?

“And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.”

The wicked are consumed by themselves, their fall from grace is of their own doing, and there is none to aid them. The Lord has called, and the wicked would not answer, the Lord has ask to save them, but they refused His salvation. Will the sentence against the evil worker be executed speedily? Will the Lords last call for them bring down deserved punishment?

No, for a man has a time to live, and a time to die.

His time must be exhausted and then his punishment shall come and will not delay.

“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:”

The wicked may be a bond servant to the righteous and the righteous may be bond servant to the wicked, but the Lord knows who belongs to Him.

The righteous and the wicked work together, inhabit the same space, breath the same air, eat the same food, and drink the same water.

The wicked and the righteous share in the same coming of the dawn, and the falling of the night. The sun shines on both, the rain causes both to become wet, and the drought effects both, the stars of the heavens know not which is which, and shine as the Lord commands, but after, this is where the separation comes.

“There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.”

From the wicked comes, all evil done under the sun.

Rape, murder, theft, incest, and doctrines of devils.

Not knowing righteousness, nor the Lord.

Men seek their own and another mans possessions and power.

They seek only to satisfy themselves without regard to the hurt done to others and no regard to their delayed punishment.

You say; ”I've done none of these things, why then should I believe in God? Will He, if He exist, punish me also?”

Without Christ, He will punish, at His time of choosing.

For without faith it is impossible to please God. You must remember that all unrighteousness is punishable.

A liar is punished as a murderer, for there is not respect of person with the Lord.

All unrighteousness is sin, all unbelievers in Christ are included in unrighteousness.

“Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.”

Repentance is the only way to avoid this Delayed Punishment. Ars.

Webster,TSK. Ecc 8:7- 17

The Fire and The Shadow.

Many people are walking threw this life not finding pleasure nor an open door of compassion. Many are looking for something that will take away the pain of living. We all, at one time or another have been in this state, but we have found a release from this life of misery and pain, we have found a direction and an open door.

The Fire;

Trouble; affliction.

To set on fire, to kindle; to inflame; to excite violent action.

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:”

This baptism spoken of in Matthew 3;11, is denoting a baptism of the spirit that is able to endure hardships and tribulation. Jesus warned us that we would be hated and tried, that being a follower would not be an easy task but that His yoke is easy and His burdens light.

The burdens of mankind, without Christ are heavy, this is where we see many people walking threw this life not finding pleasure, nor an open door of compassion. This is a miserable way to live.

We all, at one time or another have been in this state, but we have found a release from this life of misery and pain, we have found a direction and an open door.

The burdens that Christ spoke of was the burdens of carrying the Gospel, living what we testify to and walk as we ask others to walk.

Barnes states of these verses; The Rivers;(High Waters.) This is a general promise, and means that whenever and wherever they should pass through water or fire, he would protect them.

“When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burnt.”

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

The Fire; This is expressive of calamity and danger in general like passing through fire.

Gods protection falls upon those that believe in Him and believe upon His Son Jesus. Without protection from the fires and floods, men have no recourse but to endure the best that they can. This is where many will enter into depression and even co-mitt suicide. This world brings many burdens upon mankind, job loss, family disputes, debt, even pressure from government, bosses and every wind and doctrine that others place on them.

“As the Lord states of the unbeliever; Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

The Shadow.

Shadow; To overspread with obscurity. terrible darkness, trouble or death. (Speaking of Sin.)

Sin is an Inseparable companion to all men at one time or another. Even those who are rich are still a companion and slave to sin ans Satan. Without the Lord, all men live in a shadow, and all men live in the shadow of death, for it will come to all mankind.

Those of us who have accepted Christ as our savior, have learned, threw Him and the words of the Lord, to walk threw these shadows and even the fires of life. They are nothing but shadows, lies and ghosts of deception.

The Lord states of these shadows;

“For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.”

“There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.”

“Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?”

“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned(To despise; to consider and treat as mean and despicable; to scorn.)

the counsel of the most High:

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.”

Mankind, even with all his troubles, still rebel against the Lord and His truth. They are prying the gates of Hell open for themselves, so they may enter. They have blinded themselves so they cannot see, and hardened their hearts so they cannot be saved. Their labour is heavy and their pleasures are an abomination. They kill each other with words and guns, not regarding life.

They despise the righteous and hate the believers.

The Upper Lower Middle Class.

“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;”

Charge; To lay on, give or communicate, as an order, command or earnest request; to enjoin; to exhort.

An order, injunction, mandate, command.

^{We have seen in this last 100 years that the rich get richer and the poor suffer. The rich have taken to heart their ability to get gain from any source without regard to the hurt they deliver to the poor in this life.}

^{The Bible is clear on the state of the rich man, and their entrance into Heaven. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, “Verily(Of a Truth.) I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly(Scarcely; barely; almost not.) enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”}

^{“the eye of a needle.” Being loaded down with earthly wealth disreguarding the will of God, small gate where a camel had to be unloaded to pass, or a rope trying to be threaded threw the needles eye.}

^{We, as believers, have been given charge to, communicate, mandate, and or command, the rich not to trust in their uncertain riches but to put aside all reliance on their wealth, and seek out the provisioning from God.}

^{The Bible states that becoming rich in this life is not the intent of God, nor is it Godliness. For those that teach that it is godliness, we are to withdraw from them. The message of salvation is to save those that are lost and not to make them rich, this is a misunderstanding by many.}

^“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”

^{Living a life in the truth of righteousness(godliness) is greater than all riches upon this earth, but with this we also must be content with that which the Lord has delivered unto us, as it states, godliness with contentment.}

^{This is where the rich have been snared, they are never content with what they have . They always desire more and more, not considering the Lord nor His commandments.}

^{For as it is written;}

^“For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.”

^{Are these my words or my opinion? No. These are the words of God, who knows the heart of all men.}

^“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

Can the rich be saved? Yes. But they must rely upon the Lord, and think more of the one that allowed them to prosper than they think of their prosperity. To refuse is to seal their fate.

^{“ Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.”}

I Pray to?

“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”

There are many gods in this world today.

Many say we, as Christians, persecute those that refuse to live as Christ lived, but this isn't so.

We, as followers of Christ, are set in motion by a commission from the true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

If you wish to pray to another God, do so, if you wish to be a homosexual, a lesbian, a transsexual, do so, but do not ask me to accept these lifestyles, for they are an abomination to God.

You can pray to Allah, Buddha, you can pray to Satan, or any other god you desire, but, as for me I will never bow my knee to any other.

We do not force anyone to serve the Lord and neither does He, for anyone coming to the Lord must first believe that He is, and is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

Weather you are a democrat, a republican or an independent, don't tell me that you are a democratic Christian, a Republican Christian or an independent Christian, for as we all know there is no politics in the Bible, nor in the faith of Christianity.

We are all the children of God, we are all His creation and we will all be judged by our works, weather they be good or evil.

There is no such thing as a political Christian.

For as man, serves man, they seek out those things that will get them the most votes and nothing else. For we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.

I have no idea where Christians have come up with Jesus would have been of one political party or another, for Jesus is full of righteousness and would have us all to follow after Him, putting no trust in man.

Are we not all believers in Christ, are we not all baptized with the same baptism, are we not all, who believe, of the same family?

To be political is to ignore the Word of God. We are asked to accept lifestyles that are contrary to scripture, we are told to accept lies that are, so called, the politically correct version. We are asked to believe that everyone will go to Heaven as long as we are kind to one another.

We are asked to believe that there are many ways to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. These are all lies and hold no truth nor righteousness.

What we see today is men calling good evil(Christianity.) and evil good.(False gods and doctrines.)

Who has divided us, who has taught us, who has counciled the Lord on any matter? Who has segregated us, by race, by color, by national origin? Are we not all children of the Most High, are we not all seen by God, not as black, white, Korean, Egyptian or any other country?

Are we not all seen by God as in 1^st Adam or Last Adam? I see men not as black Christians, nor white Christians, republican, democrat, independent, nor Asian Christians, but simply brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

How dare this world try to separate us from the love of God, how dare they say we are to ignore Gods word and accept all lifestyles as normal, how dare they try to separate us from the truth of the word of God.

These things remind me of these verses in 1^st Corinthians;

“Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?”

Is there not enough evil in this world today that you must add to it? Can we be as one Church and divide into segregated parts? Can we not all follow after Christ together? Then why would any Christian follow after any man that would separate us and cause divisions, cause strife within the church, follow after any man that co-mitts abominations? Why would we follow after men that call evil good, and good evil, for there is none other Holy except the Lord, no other Lord nor Christ, than Jesus.

The things that I have heard in these last few months have been disturbing, and should have disturbed the followers of Christ. We cannot follow after any man that condones abortion as a means to population control, nor any man that states we are a problem to world peace, nor would take this country and promote false gods and religion as a means to peaceful relations.

“To the unknown God.”

This is the God I have, and will, introduce to those that are lost. He is know to me, but an unknown God to those that act contrary to sound doctrine. He is know to me, but unknown to those that refuse to heed to a sound doctrine. He is known only threw the introduction from the Holy Spirit and can only be approached by the faith and service of Jesus Christ. Believing upon Him as the Son of God.

Do you know the Lord and follow Jesus teachings, or have you rewritten every word to suite your needs and desires?

Just a thought. Ars.

Act 17:23 1Co 1:8-13 Webster,TSK,

Whosoever will save his life.

"And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it."

In the end days many shall come before the anti-Christ and make a choice, weather to take his mark(666) or weather to suffer beheading and live for Christ. This decision is being made each and every day around the world. There are many that have become martyrs for their faith in Christ and others save their life denying Jesus as the Son of God.

We see these things in the Bible, such as these verses,"And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

And they cried with a loud voice, saying,

"How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"

And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

"their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

God having all wisdom and knowledge, knows that many shall loose their life for the sake of His Son Jesus. Many in this country and others have been killed and are being persecuted for their beliefe in the truth of the Bible.

These persecutions have come in many forms and from some unlikely sources. When a goverment denis the Biblical truth, this is another sign of the end of days. Many confuse loving one another, with hating sin and opposing all manner of unrightiousness. If we speak not the truth of the Bible, how will any one know of these abominations and sins that will keep them from the love of God and His kingdom.

Shall the Christian accept Islam as a religion to be converted to? By no means. We are those that live by faith in Christ Jesus. We hold the Bible as the Holy word of God. We cannot convert to any false religion, and will never be partaker of any holiday selebration of them. We can, and must love our enemies as ourselves but we cannot be partaker of their sin. The greatest sin, in my opinion is, unbeliefe. Unbeliefe leads to all manner of religions and useless rituals, that cannot bring salvation nor healing of any type. This country is falling away from the truth of the Bible, and will suffer for its mistakes and unbeliefe. You believe that there is just one God, you do well, but the devils also believe and tremble.

Mark 8:34-35, is easy to understand. Those that save this body of flesh, because they are unwilling to be led by the spirit of God, shall loose their life(Soul.) in the resurection.

This is the choice that all, under this troubled and violent world face. Islam is leading a Jehad(holy war.) against all that refuse to convert to their religion. This is where many will save or loose their life. It is a known fact that anyone that tries to convert to christianity from Islam, is under sentance of death. Many say that this is just the responce of religious zellots and not the religion itself, but they are forgetting what the Bible states of the end days of the anti-christ and the one world religion.

Many do not believe in Biblical prophecy, and with this, they have blinded themselves to the awful truth of Christian martyrdom in these end days.

Who has shown the greatest hatred of Israel and Christianity, who has doubled their influence in these last twenty years, who is calling for peace talks, while prepairing for war with Israel, Who?

There are none so blind as those that will not see, nor deaf that will not hear, nor lost that will not believe. In these end days many shall save their lives by loosing them for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many a christian have been killed by Muslum, Hindu, satanist and other religions, because they will not sacrifice their souls to retain their mortal lives.

Many refuse to see the truth being content to be blind, content to be deaf rather to hear so that they might be saved, and ignorant of the truth that they may be healed.

When will this number be reached according to Revelations 6:11?

"until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

There is a number that only the Lord knows, when this number of martyrs is reached, then the wrath of God shall be poured out upon this earth. It could be reached at any time, the best thing to do is be prepared.

Rev 6:9-11 Mar 8:3435

Turn thee unto me.

"Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. "

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:."

We are a peculiar people, a people of faith without seeing, hearers without hearing and doers without questioning. We believe because it is indwelled within our hearts.

The Lord is with us in times of plenty and in the days of fammon.

He is there, in the fire, wind and even the whirlwind.

He is our light in the darkest of times, a cool breeze on a hot day, and a covering in the winter of years.

These are the days of trials and tribulations.

It seams that there is not enough food, shelter or finances to aid all that are in need. But the Lord knows our afflicitions and desires. He hears our prayers and helps us in a time accepted by Him.

Our trial of faith goes to a boundry that we are able to bear, and never further.

We may ask,"Why does the Lord allow famine and pestulance?"

Its not the Lord, but mankind that has promoted these things, for their rejection of Him.

We prove this in these verses.

"But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods."

"Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?"

These troublesome days have been brought upon mankind for their disobediance to Gods will.

They have violated the first Commandment.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

Can the Lord show mercy to those that hate Him and despise His Son?

Can the Lord deliever them from their distress, when they serve other gods? And if the Lord delievers them, these people will give glory to their gods?

Let their gods deliever them, so saith the Lord God, let their gods answer their prayers, let their gods feed, and cloth them, and if they are not delievered, then let them destroy their false gods, and turn to Him who is able to save and deliever.

Let them now believe on His Son Jesus, that they might be saved, delievered, and have life, and have it more abundantly.

And He will show mercy unto thousands of them that love Him, and keep His commandments.

For those of us who serve the true God, the God of Israel, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we are delievered each and every day.

We are fed according to His will, clothed by His mercy, and saved by His Grace threw faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are never forsaken, as those that serve other gods, we are never left alone to face trials, troubles or tribulations, as those that pray to idols.

We bow to no man, no god, nor are we terrified by these things that man desires. We are justified, and glorified by Him that sets upon the Throne in Heavan and in Jerusalem.

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."

We see many a hardship upon the Children of the Most High God, but He is there my children, He sees and understands.

If a man, who does not believe in God, gives good gifts to his children how much more shall the Lord give to them who believe and trust in Him.

Our affliciations are but for a short time.

We die daily for our testimony of Christ. Our total provisiuoning comes from the Lord. We are to trust in Him and no other.

Give us this day our daily bread, an forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us, this is true and worthy to be accepted by all who believe upon the Lord.

Isaiah 43:1-2 -Psalms 25: 16-20 Jer 44:5

ANTI-CHRIST.

In the Bible the word; “Anti-Christ” is mentioned 4 times. To understand these days we live in we must understand this spirit and man of anti-Christ.

The spirit of anti-Christ is AntiChris'tian;

Pertaining to antichrist; opposite to or opposing the christian religion.

A follower of antichrist; one opposed to the christian religion.

Pertaining to antichrist, this Spirit entices, or seduces, the unlearned and unprotected individual, this also includes whole nations and principalities. That which hath power or energy; the quality of any substance which manifest life, activity, or the power of strongly affecting other bodies. This spirit of anti-Christ has power, not over the body, but over the mind of many.

“The copy has not the spirit of the original.” This pertaining to the anti-Christ being a copy of the original spirit that Jesus left with us, to lead us and guide us into all truths. This copy cat spirit has not the interest of man nor of God in mind, but of a tearing down of the truth in the world, in other words, to kill, steal and destroy all that is holy.

The spirit of man includes;

The renewed nature of man.

An immaterial intelligent substance. Spirit is a substance in which thinking, knowing, doubting, and a power of moving do subsist. Hence, An immaterial intelligent being. This being the part of man, that controls the actions of the body and the thoughts of the heart.(Soul.)

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”

This verse is concerning the spirit of the antichrist, being separate from, but also being equal to, the embodiment of the physical man.

Before Jesus started to preach the new covenant to all men, this spirit came in opposition to His teachings. The first bold mention of anti-Christ in the New Testament, was at the temptation of Christ.(Matthew 4:1-10.)

In today's world we have noticed a change from the principles that this country was founded upon and the teachings of God. We have seen many laws, statutes and rhetoric being leveled at the Christian life style and the falling away from the bind that ties Israel and us. We are being told in the media that Israel and Christianity are the two main causes of discord around the world. We have been told by our very leaders that this nation is no longer a Christian Nation, but a multi ethnic, multi religious society, becoming the largest Muslim nation in the world, this is the spirit of anti-Christ, deceiving. This spirit that we can all see, if we are willing to look, is trying to control the minds of men and separate many from the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” We see here that this spirit of anti-Christ denies' both the Father and the Son. He is being led not by the spirit of God but rather, his father, the devil. Many people do not even know that this spirit exist, nor do they comprehend his power over the mind. People today have gone astray from the Godly principles of a good life style and have become indulgent in the pleasing of the flesh, and the pride of life. The spirit of anti-Christ, nor Satan, cares what lie you believe, just so you believe that Jesus doesn't exist.

“And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

Would this spirit of anti-Christ have been stopped by Christ? No. The Bible tells us that this spirit, and the man himself, shall be destroyed in the end days, being allowed to fulfill Biblical prophecy. God has given us signs and warnings, that should let every man know when the end of days are here. Many refuse to believe and therefore, this spirit is still with us. So long as this spirit deceives people, he is still strong in his resolve to destroy many souls, and the lives of man.

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”

These deceivers are false religions, false prophets, and even government leaders, that are deceiving and being deceived by this spirit. When we see any man say that Christianity is a deterrent to peace, this is the spirit being manifested threw him. These deceivers reject the very notion of Christ, the very idea of loving your neighbor as yourself, and the intent of forgiveness of sins, threw the belief in Jesus being the Son of God.

“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Many Christians will be called home before they are allowed to fall for this spirit of lies. Many shall be made stronger to withstand this spirit, and will, as Jesus stated, be hated by the world, persecuted and even killed for their testimony of Christ. Many today are calling for the removal of any reference to God, Christ, and even the cross from public display, this also is the spirit of anti-Christ being manifested. Why cannot the populace of this world see these signs?

They have eyes, and cannot see, they have ears, and refuse to hear, and they have mouths that spout filth, and lies, against the most High God. This also being a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Many do not realize that their hatred of Christ is fulfillment of prophecy, for we, believers and unbelievers, are all tied together in this Biblical prophecy.

1Jn 2:18 2Jn 1:7 1Jn 4:3 1Jn 2:22 Mat 24:22-24 Webster,TSK.

Everything you see, in this life, blood has been shed, from the car you drive, to the cloths you wear, and even to the food that you eat.

Some where, at some moment, blood was shed, from the blood of a coal miner, to the steal worker, to the delievery driver.

We will speak of the salvation of man, where again, blood was shed. The Bible tells us that, without the sheading of blood there is no remission of sin.

Many people disreguard the blood that was shead for their salvation from Jesus. This blood removed the vail that covered the mercy seat and exposed all men to their sin and shame. This blood gave all men the oppertunity to be saved, only if they are washed in the blood of this perfict sacrificial lamb.

Let us read and understand;

"But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle(A place of worship; a sacred place.), not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained(Gained; procured; acquired.) eternal redemption( In theology, the purchase of God's favor by the death and sufferings of Christ; the ransom or deliverance of sinners from the bondage of sin and the penalties of God's violated law by the atonement of Christ.) for us.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth(To cleanse from corruption; to purify from sin; to make holy be detaching the affections from the world and its defilements, and exalting them to a supreme love to God.) to the purifying of the flesh:

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge(To remove what is offensive; to sweep away impurities.) your conscience(Internal or self-knowledge, or judgment of right and wrong; or the faculty, power or principle within us, which decides on the lawfulness or unlawfulness of our own actions and affections, and instantly approves or condemns them.) from dead works to serve the living God?"

Many religions do not speak of salvation nor the cleansing of the concience or spirit, from the sinful nature of man. Sin is an inherited spirit we all have from the fall of Adam.(First Adam.)

Without purification from sin, there can be no justification nor salvation for any man, us being all born in the flesh. All men are born into the likeness of sinful flesh and all must be reborn in the spirit, only threw the acceptance of Jesus as the Son of God and the renewing of mind and spirit, threw the sacrificial blood, can these things be done.

Do we discount the blood shed by Christ, as nothing, being selfrightious? Can we enter into rightiousness by the sheading of unpure blood, the killing of the innocent, the blood of scrificial animals, or the blood sheading for Gods sake?

For as it is written,

"Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day."

"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me."

Mans attempt to offer up blood of the innocent is tainted and unwanted by God. This is an abomination to the Lord and He will recompence blood for blood, in the time of the judgment and the terrable day of His vengence. For what other blood can be shead for the sins of man? What other blood can sustain man in a time of tribulations? What other blood can give life and give it more abuntantly than the blood of Christ?

For as Jesus stated; "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

"And almost all things are by the law purged(Purified; made clean; healed.) with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."

Many believe that Jesus was a prophet from God, a Holy Man, but they discount His sheading of blood for the sanctification, justification and the covering of all manner of sin. Many celebrait the birth and death of Christ, not knowing Him nor the Father. They forget how He died for them, the stripes that He endured, the blood spilling, and flesh being torn, for them. They forget the shame and dishonour He suffered and how the blood that spilt fell upon the Holy Seat, fulling the past(The Law) and opening up the future.(The New Testiment.(Covenant.)

"Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;."

How arrogant are men who say,"God had no need of a Son", how conceited are they that try to dictate to the Lord what He can, and cannot do, how dare they spit upon this Holy Blood that God offered to the salvation of every man.

Are we to ignore this blood, are we to seek out other sacrifices, are we to ignore all common sence and reason, to climb into the kingdom of the Lord another way?

Just remember, Everything you see, in this life, blood has been shed.

Many people disreguard the blood that was shead for their salvation from Jesus, are you one of these? ars.

Heb 9:11-14 Joh 16:2-3 Isa 65:5 Mat 26:28 Heb 9:22 Rom 3:25

Through the Valley.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

The Lord is our Father, and we are His Children.

As a baby the Lord teaches us to crawl, as we learn, we are given His hand to stand and He teaches us to walk. This is with all men who are born of woman.

As we start our walk with the Lord He holds onto us firmly until we are able to walk on our own. He continues to walk beside us, and guide us, into the paths that He has chosen.

Man, who is still in the flesh, is distracted by many things. His curiosity takes over as he decides to see what this world has to offer. In this valley we begin to see dark clouds forming upon the horizon. The Lord decides to allow you to walk alone in front of Him to see what you will do in times of adversity. As we continue to walk, the sky grows darker, we hear the dogs howling, and the bats flying past a clouded moon.

We hear the wolves, the roar of the Lion, and Jackal, we see in the darkness the bright eyes of mysterious creatures, not knowing what they are. Our hearts grow faint, our legs weaken, and we start to run. Our strength is taken away from us, and we stumble, just as we are about to fall, the hand of the Lord reaches down, and catches us. He teaches us of the terrible things and shows us what we were so afraid of. Our strength returns, and we continue our walk with God.

What do you fear?

“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.”

Is it sorrows that brings fear to you? Is it the burdens of this life that make you weak? Is it the terrors of mans inhumanity that cause you to lie awake at night?

Our life is full of uncertainties, but we know that these things will come upon all men, weather they serve the Lord, or not. Don't you remember that we are in the world, but not of the world? That the just and the unjust shall have the rain to fall upon both, and the sun shall rise upon both?

“In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;” Many of the unrighteousness acts of man occur by the light of the moon, the darkness, committing the hidden things that we cannot see. These are the eyes that shine in the darkness, the wolves, the roar of the Lion, and Jackal, the bright eyes of mysterious creatures, that have been uncovered, and we know now what they are.

Thieves roam at night, taking what is not lawfully theirs. Those that seek the blood of the innocent also roam at night, seeking, as Satan does, whom they can devour. We lock our doors, and are afraid to walk the night streets because of these Jackals and snakes.

No need to fear.

“Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,

Say ye not, A confederacy(The friendships of the world are oft confederacies in vice.), to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy(A league, or covenant; a contract between two or more persons, bodies of men or states, combined in support of each other, in some act or enterprise; mutual engagement;); neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.”

Many things shall come upon the righteous, but we are not to fear. Man has made a confederacy among themselves, some to commit acts of terror, fear, robbery, murder, thefts, and even war. Many have caused famine by their confederacy of greed and power. Many times an act of charity goes without thanks, for the receivers of this charity, takes what is given them, and it is sold.

As it is written; “At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.”

What fear can man bring upon you that would cause you to abandon the safety of the Lord? We know that the wisdom of man is foolishness to God, and Gods weakness is stronger than man.

Man is a weak thing, made of only flesh and bone. If I am cut, do I not bleed, if I am beaten, do my limbs not break. Who then is stronger than the Lord? Is man not His creation, or do you believe that man created God?

Again as it is written;“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”

“When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”

No army, nor confederacy, nor Jackal, or snake, can harm you, if the Lord is by your side. The fearful and abominable shall flee at the presence of the Lord. Famine shall not touch His Children, nor shall nakedness appear among those that believe. Sickness and death will be only a passing thing among the Children of the Most High.

You are Kings and Priest before the Lord, a co-inheritor to the Kingdom of Heaven threw Jesus Christ. Stand tall, fear not, show your faith, our Lord will return.

Hope, Enduring, and Sustained.

The Hope that believers have is enduring, and sustained, by our trust in the Lord.

The hope that lies within us is, the hope of a resurrection from the dead, being promised by Jesus. We believe in hope because we are told that, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

What was that spirit that Jesus had?

The Holy Spirit of God.

Hope is; Confidence in a future event; the highest degree of well founded expectation of good; as a hope founded on Gods gracious promises; a scriptural sense. To place confidence in; to trust in with confident expectation of good.

We have hope for many things, finances to be repaired, sickness to be healed, children to be saved, and of course, an eternity with the Lord. “Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:.”

As our loved ones die, we have peace with the hope of their well being. As we look upon the grave, we know within ourselves that this body of flesh must go back to the dust of the earth from which it came. We see the shell of our loved ones resting in peace that we cannot find upon this earth. Trials, troubles, tribulation, and pain, are all gone from those that have put their trust and hope within the Lord.

This speaking of Christ; “Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

Corruption; Depravity; wickedness; perversion or deterioration of moral principles; loss of purity or integrity.

This also speaking of us. We are to be redeemed by the blood of Christ, we have the hope that our redemption shall not allow our souls to see corruption after we die. We shall not be partaker of the second death, for we are saved by grace threw faith in Christ Jesus.

“Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.”

We have a more sure witness of the truth. We have been taught by the Holy Spirit, and know the ways of God.

As it is written; “Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God.”

Many things upset us in this life. Fear of the unknown, but this should not be so. For everything that we fear is written for us to understand in the word of God. Do you fear war, strangers, uncertainty? Then put your hope and trust in God.

He has warned us of all the things that will come to pass. He has showed His deliverance many, many, times. Have you ever went hungry, naked? Has the Lord ever forsaken you, or left you alone to suffer the trials of this life?

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

You hope lies not in the things that you see, but rather in the things not seen.

Our hope is Sustained in Christ.

Sustained; To support; to keep from sinking in despondence. The hope of a better life sustains the afflicted amidst all their sorrows.

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” “The hope of a better life sustains the afflicted amidst all their sorrows.” We will have to endure many sorrows in this life, but our hope will keep us, uphold us and strengthen us, in all these troublesome times.

Many of our brethren, around the world, are suffering the same afflictions that we all so suffer. We see a great need for food and shelter, but as we cannot aid them, we know that assurance in the Lords provisions, will come to rebuke the devourer for them, and their daily needs will be met.

These afflictions have been prophesied, and will come to pass. We cannot change these prophecies, but we already should be aware that they will come, and those that are believers in Christ will survive. We live only a little while in this life, for we are just sojourners and strangers in a strange land. Those without hope will suffer the most, being without the reassurance and provisioning of the Lord.

Remember we have the highest degree of well founded expectation of good; as a hope founded on Gods gracious promises, so why then should we fear, famine, petulance, as those without hope?

Our Hope is Enduring, and Sustained.

Enduring, Having the quality of enduring evils without murmuring or fretfulness; sustaining afflictions of body or mind with fortitude, calmness or christian submission to the divine will; as a patient person, or a person of patient temper.

Sustained, To hold; to keep from falling.

Think as a man, that would die for love, Jesus died for us and we die daily for Him. We are our brothers keeper, a sustained, enduring beacon of hope to those in trouble. We live each day, knowing that if this day is our last, we are promised life everlasting with the Lord. So our problems in life are but for a short time, and we are, and have assurance from God, that our tears shall be turned to gold, our suffering shall be turned to gladness and our poverty shall be turned to riches.

Act 2:26-28 Psa 43. Rom 8:11 Luke 12:32 Mat 24:13 Webster,TSK

Men and The Bible. pt.3.

Mens responsiability to God.

In todays world we see many that do not believe in God nor His Son Jesus. The Bible is clear on future prophecy stating, that many shall fall away, forget the Lord, and even dening the one that sent them. Many will kill in the name of God, of whom they do not even know.

Mens responsiability to God.

"And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

"And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God."

To love God is to love and obey His word. Many men today that profess the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, have erred from the truth of scripture. We, as Godly men, must respect the words that came from commandment. We are to respect our wives, children, and parents, doing nothing that would bring reproach to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are still in this body of flesh, therefore we are still prone to make mistakes, do things, say things, and think things that are contrary to sound judgment.

We cannot fault a fellow servant of Christ just because he is blessed by God with more than what we ourselves have. For as it is written; "I will bless whom I will bless and curse whom I will curse."

When a brother is blessed by God we are to rejoice with him that the Lord found him worthy of that blessing and when a brother is in need we pray with him and if able, we share with him what the Lord has blessed us with. If a brother is sad and weeping we weep also and incourage.

Mens responsiability not to enter into self condemnation.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

We are not to enter into self condemnation but rather remember from where we have fallen and repent. If we live according to the commandments of God and His Christ, we will be well suted for a life of Holiness and respectiability among a world of hate and desperation. We will not forget the delieverance that the death and resurection of our Lord.

Mens responsiability to Incourage.

As each day goes by, our families look to us for nurishment and daily needs, and when these needs are not met, we may see heartach in our family members.

This is where the responsiability of a man begins.

He consolls them with the words of God, not stating things that are outside the will of God, but rather to repete Gods own words.

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Mens responsiability to leave troubles in Gods hands.

"Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them."

Mens responsiability to believe and overcome.

"Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."

When a man believes, in all, the word of God, he has set himself upon a solid rock of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, not only of the word of God but also a knowledge of why things happen in this world. We have a responsiability to God to testify of the truth, no matter what consequences he may face. We are just human and we all will die at a time appointed. Should we worry about what men may say, or do to us, or should we follow after the heart of God.

Men and The Bible. pt.2.

Their Responsibility to his Wife.

If the men of today would read and understand the scriptures, we would see less spousial abuse, for a woman was not put into this life to be beat upon or abused, this action constitutes sin.

Let us read a little and understand the importance of a wife among men.

"And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"

The main reason many leave home is for the addition of a wife. A wife indicates a completeness within a mans life. He is otherwise alone within himself. This is not to say that a man should not marry, even thou the Apostiel Paul remained so. We see the only reasons that a man should remain unmarried from Jesus.

"His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb:(Unable to have sexual relationship with a woman.) and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men:(Done without consent, or for other reasons.)(The Egyptian Pharoes used this many times for their male servants.) and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.(These chose selabiecy, to serve the Lord fully.) He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

The last verse states that if a man would fit into any of these catigories, he is able to become selabiate, but if not, it is good and proper to marry.

These statments from the Lord, along with others negates, or disallows homosexual bonds. There is no instance in scripoture that God allows the same sexs to marry. For as it is stated, these are an abomination.

"Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."

As Paul stated here, a man who is not, nor will become, a unich, should marry to prevent him from comitting fornication, which is;

Looseness; irregular indulgence of animal desires; wantonness; lustfulness.

(Who, being past feeling(Not careing.), have given themselves over to lasciviousness. Eph 4.)

Tendency to excite lust, and promote irregular indulgences.

This is why there is homosexuality in the world, not only today but for thousands of years. So you can start seeing the reason for a man to find and keep a good wife, for the Bible states that a man that finds a wife, finds a good thing.

Due Benevolence.

"Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife."

J.F.B. states of these verses;

(Quote.)

1Co 7:3-4

The duty of cohabitation on the part of the married.

due benevolence — The oldest manuscripts read simply, “her due”; that is, the conjugal cohabitation due by the marriage contract. (compare 1Co_7:4).

1Co 7:4

A paradox. She hath not power over her body, and yet it is her own. The oneness of body in which marriage places husband and wife explains this. The one complements the other. Neither without the other realizes the perfect ideal of man.(End Quote.)

A mans wife earns his respect, and honour. We are to give due rights to her, as Christ gives due benevolance(Rights.) to His forth coming wife;(I.E.The Church). With respect, honour and full rights under the marriage, a mans life is blessed. This is not to say that a wife has the authority, or can have any athority, over a man, for this is sin, but she shares responsiability with the husband and for the family unit.

A Husband must control his own house, for without control, a man is in a state of shame, and sin. For as it is written, If a man knows not how to control his own house, how can he control the House of God.

Sex in a marriage. Two Reasons.

1.

"Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency."

This not being a commandment but a suggestion, a very good one.

"But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment."

2.

Bringing forth Children.

"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

Remember one thing, a healthy sexual life between a man and his wife is good, but it does not make a marriage.

Divorce.

"But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."

Ye Believe in God!

Faith.

Belief; the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared by another, resting on his authority and veracity, without other evidence; the judgment that what another states or testifies is the truth.

We, who believe in God, have no need of physical proof, for His Spirit dwells within us. We see things that others can not see, hear things that others can not hear, and speak things that can only come from the Holy Spirit of God.

Jesus stated; "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."

You cannot believe in God without believing in His Christ. For God has declared that Jesus is His only begotten Son, and who has the power to deni Gods will? Who can separate one from the other?

Many have waited for a Messiah for years, seeking the one who will lead all mankind into peace and prosperity. There are also many that deni the very existence of God, or say that God accepts unrighteous acts, and still others believe that, if they believe in Jesus as being the Son of God, they can live any life style they desire.

These are not only the foolish heart-ed, but also the enemies of the Cross, as stated by Paul.

"Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"

"whose God is their belly", In scripture, belly is used for the heart. Carnal lusts, sensual pleasure.

We know by the Spirit that, it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles the man, but that which proceeds's out of the mouth. For out of the desires of the heart the mouth speaks. Many say they believe in God and His Christ, but refuse to follow Christ as an example. They refuse to believe in His word, therefore they do not believe in God.

We have two simple commandments to follow;

1."let us walk by the same rule",

2. "let us mind the same thing."

Rule;

To govern the movements of things; to conduct; to manage; to control. That God rules the world he has created, is a fundamental article of belief.

To manage; to conduct, in almost any manner.

These rules are set by God, as to the conduct and affairs of the Church and the Body of Christ.

"the same thing." "I will tell you by what authority I do these things."

Thing;

An event or action; that which happens or falls out, or that which is done, told or proposed. This is the general signification of the word in the Scriptures; as after these things, that is, events.

The rules of conduct haven't changed, but mankind seek change. Change that allows many to break commandments, or to change these rules to suite their agenda.

"let us walk by the same rule",

In the Book of Acts, the Apostle Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, dictates to all churches, these rules of conduct. He tells us who is called to minister, how to minister, and what to minister.

We are instructed on the differences of administrations and the qualifications of each high position.

A minister once told me that, I stressed thew rules of conduct to much, and the Love of God too little, but what he failed to realize is that, without obeying the rules set down by the Lord, we have no love of God. He also failed to realize that, without these rules of conduct, we have no church and no salvation threw Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Church.

The reason that he objected of my stress on these rules is that, he was committing adultery with another mans wife.

"Let us Mind the Same Thing."

There is only true God, one true Messiah, and one true Gospel. We are instructed by this Gospel and our faith is imbedded within its passages.

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."

Men today that do not follow righteous rules of conduct are deceiving the unlearned and unprepared, and being deceived themselves, not knowing God nor Christ.

Without following the teachings of Christ many have fallen away from the truth and have lost their first love. We cannot be a partaker with the world and its unrighteousness and be followers of Christ.

"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."

Do we not all read the same scriptures, do we not all have the same things in mind, do we not all understand our place in the Church of the Firstborn, do we not all serve the same God?

Didn't Christ die for all, and give us an example of a lifestyle that was pleasing to God, did He not teach us correctly?

We know that we have assurance of the truth of the Gospel. We have a more sure word of prophecy, we know more, we see more, and we understand more, than any other generation in history.

For as it is written;

1."All scripture is given by inspiration of God", and

2. "is profitable for doctrine",

3. "for reproof,"

4. "for correction," and

5. "for instruction in righteousness:"

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

Just remember what Jesus stated; "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."
